Questions about Fried chicken drumstick
How do you fry chicken drumsticks so they cook through without burning?
Bring them close to room temperature, then fry in oil at about 170 °C, turning occasionally; allow roughly 12–15 minutes, depending on size. Check that the thickest part reaches 75 °C, without touching the bone.
How do you reheat fried chicken drumsticks and keep the skin crisp?
Reheat them on a wire rack in an oven at 180 °C for about 15–20 minutes, until steaming hot all the way through. An air fryer also works; avoid the microwave if you want to keep the coating crisp.
How long can you keep fried chicken drumsticks in the fridge?
Refrigerate leftovers within two hours, in a covered container, and eat them within two days. Reheat only the portion you need, until steaming hot throughout.
What goes well with fried chicken drumsticks?
Serve them with coleslaw, corn on the cob or potato salad for a familiar meal; pickles and a sharp, tangy sauce cut through the crispy coating. They also work well in a picnic spread when chilled promptly.
Is a fried chicken drumstick more like a thigh or a wing?
It is dark meat like a thigh, but the drumstick is the lower part of the leg and has a single long bone that makes it easy to hold. A fried chicken thigh has 21 g of protein per 100 g, compared with 19.2 g in a fried chicken thigh?
